If you live in the UK, you probably have come across Tareena Shakil on the news or maybe on her ITV documentary. She was amongst the women groomed by ISIS and she made a decision to take her one-year-old son and travel to Syria to join the Islamic State. What she also did was quickly change her mind and risk her life to return to the UK. She got arrested here, did her time in prison and went through the deradicalisation programme.ISIS and its recruits has been a scary topic for me, something unknown, something I don’t understand and something that feels and is so inhumane that I don’t know how to speak about it. However, when I saw Tareena on BBC News late in 2021, I saw a human being advocating for other women not to make the same mistake she had done and it made me pause.I reflected on my instant reaction. How was I feeling about this? What were my initial thoughts and reactions? How would I feel about giving a second chance to someone who acknowledges their mistake? What if that mistake was a big one?I decided to reach out and see if Tareena would be open to talk to me and here we are. On this conversation we cover Tareena’s life journey, including her escape from Syria, retur  to the UK and life after this. We also reflect on how someone using people’s vulnerabilities can lead them to make the decisions that will be regretted for a lifetime and Tareena also suggests steps people can take not to fall prey to radicalist propaganda.Find Tareena Shakil:Instagram: @tareena_shakilTo learn more about me go to:Instagram: @conversations.with.my.mindLinkedIn: Ance VanagaWebsite: https://conversationswithmymind.buzzsprout.comLovely music created by: Harlowe KingPhoto: Tareena’s personal archive

Koshka Duff

Corona Lisa

Dr Koshka Duff, an assistant professor of politics at Nottingham University has received an apology and compensation from the Met Police after officers were caught on CCTV using sexist, derogatory and unacceptable language during a 2013 strip search. In her first broadcast interview since the apology, she speaks to Emma about that experience and why it has taken so long to get an apology. Chloe Slevin, a 3rd year nursing student at University College Dublin has been painting well-known masterpieces - with a Covid-19 twist. Her latest creation? The 'Corona Lisa' which sees the famous Mona Lisa in full PPE, which she plans to auction off for charity. She joins Emma to talk about all about her paintings.Tareena Shakil is the first British woman to be found guilty of joining the so-called Islamic State. She was jailed for travelling to Syria with her son - who was a one year old baby at the time, in 2014. She speaks to Anita about why she left the UK to join a terrorist organisation - and why she's speaking out. Midwives are being ‘dangerously overworked’ according to a former NHS midwife. Piroska Cavell, who worked for years across the UK as a midwife and Dr Mary Ross-Davie from the Royal College of Midwives speak to Emma about the challenges facing midwives working on the frontline:Plus do you remember the rhyme for Henry VIII's six wives? Well a musical about them has just opened on Broadway following rave reviews on the West End. Six the Musical follows all six wives, as they take the microphone in a ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ style sing-off. Co-director Lucy Moss, co-director and co-writer of the show, and Tsemaye Bob-Egbe, who plays Henry VIII’s fifth wife Katherine Howard, join Emma to discuss its success.

That was in 2014 when she was 24. She didn't last long in Syria and fled. A trial in the UK followed and it came to light that she lied to police when they questioned her and some of her social media posts encouraged others to do the same as her. She tells her story to Anita Rani, and describes her hopes for the future.Libby Heaney and Nabihah Iqbal are combining music production and AI for their piece Cascade. It's an exploration of the River Thames and includes field recordings of the Thames, AI generated sounds and visuals. One Big Bag is a film installation about a young death doula. That's a carer who supports someone who's dying and their families. Its creator is artist Every Ocean Hughes. She joins Hermione Elliott who's a doula herself, and Dr Helen Frisby.
